These latest UK rankings closely follow the Caribbean and Hong Kong IFLR1000 guides which published in August and September respectively, where teams across our BVI, Cayman Islands and Hong Kong offices achieved significant recognition. 

IFLR1000 is a guide to the world’s top financial and corporate law firms and lawyers, with its research based on transactional deal evidence and client feedback.
